I always thought it was weird that lefties got behind this guy when I remember him years back on the Colbert show bragging about the public-private partnerships he had pulled off. Like it was good he had helped his town and all, but it wasn't in anyway Left.

Rather not. Did my time in Jersey.

In my case; It's just really hard to track down the political histories of every "progressive" that pops up. I need to remind myself; The only curse that Pandora managed to capture before it could escape the box was Hope.

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

ive never understood that

are we free from hope? Like, able to stop feeling it? Or do we only have hope because it's still in the box?

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

Somehow it never clicked for me that hope is meant to be curse too.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

I interpret it as hope being a passive acceptance of the other curses. if you're hoping you've already given up. It's kind of a 'take heart, fortify, rally, you don't have to fall back on hope, these evils can be conquered" thing.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
